Not only is this my first time participating in a challenge, it's my first layout ever, digital or otherwise!!! I had a lot of fun, so who knows what will happen. Wait a minute, I just realized that I have used printed digital photos of myself and/or familymembers in my mixed media work before, so I have been hybrid scrapbooking all along without knowing it ...

I loved being able to use the blog train for this as it felt the colors were just right. Everything fit perfect. (and OMG....I am having too much fun figuring out this site and uploading and challenges!!!)

I have never done a digital layout before so please be gentle. I learned how to: use a template layout (thanks Marisa) I worked with full sized kits which I have not done before. Then, I learned how to upload to the gallery here and to post my pic here.
A lot for one day.

The pictures are of my father and his girlfriend. They are both 78 years old and still swim and surf nearly every day on Oahu to stay in shape.
